 Welcome to Phepa.net    
It is an essential resource for those professionals who have to tackle alcohol related problems in primary health care settings. It presents evidence-based information on the management of alcohol problems under different headings: The harm done by alcohol, Identifying alcohol problems, Intervening with patients, etc

Phepa.net has been developed in the framework of the Project entitled "Primary Health Care European Project on Alcohol" funded by the European Commission and the Department of Health of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia. This European Project is aimed at integrating health promotion interventions for hazardous and harmful alcohol consumption into primary health care professionals' daily clinical work. It will achieve this by preparing: European recommendations and clinical guidelines on best practice for health care purchasers and providers; a training program for primary health care professionals, a comprehensive Internet site database on good practice, and a series of country specific dissemination strategies.

* 24/09/2009 Early identification and Brief Advice in the Amphora project.

AMPHORA, a four-year, €4million project co-financed by the 7th framework programme of research of the European Commission, with 33 partner organizations from 14 European countries, started at the beginning of 2009.

The project aims to pool European knowledge across a wide range of public health alcohol policy measures, and to disseminate this knowledge to those engaged in making policy. By enhancing cooperation among researchers and advancing research in Europe, AMPHORA will provide new scientific evidence for the best public health measures to reduce the harm done by alcohol. AMPHORA is coordinated by the “Hospital Clinic i Provincial de Barcelona” (HCPB) in Spain.

One of the nine work packages coordinated by Professor Colin Drummond of the National Addiction Centre, Kings College London will address three clear gaps in considering the contribution of early identification, brief advice, and management of alcohol use disorders as public health measures in reducing the harm done by alcohol. For further information, please contact Colin Drummond.
